Mentor Ask

Turn an admired stranger or senior into a guide.

prompt.txt
Act as a mentorship coach. The person: [who they are, how I know of them, any existing connection]. What I want guidance on: [specific domain or decision]. What I can offer back: [honestly — execution help, their field's adjacent skill, or just serious follow-through].

Build the ask:
1. The right-sized first ask: NOT 'will you be my mentor' (marriage proposal on a first date) — the single 20-minute question that starts a relationship.
2. The message: under 90 words — why them specifically (their actual path, not flattery), my one question, and the respect-their-time structure.
3. The first-call agenda: 3 questions max, notes taken, ending with the 'may I follow up on how it went' line that earns a second conversation.
4. The follow-through system: the update-after-acting message that mentors say is the rarest and most bonding thing.
5. The long game: how relationship cadence (quarterly updates, zero asks between) turns a call into a champion.
